Goldenrod Cleanup/Work Day 4/7/2012
The club has organized a cleanup/workday at Goldenrod Disc Golf course for SATURDAY APRIL 7TH at 9:00a.m. until around 4:00p.m. or possibly before or after depending on the progress at that point.

Mark Stephens has spoken with Genesee County Parks to clear this with them, which they have ok'd, so this is an official/legit cleanup/workday.

In fact, GCP will be providing us with crushed limestone and possibly some other labor help, to alleviate/fix some tee pads and other areas with their flooding and lack of drainage issues (ex. #7 & #2 tee pad/area). This will be provided to us for a reasonable donation to the parks which the club will be taking care of.

In addition to work on tees we will be working to accomplish the following:
- Trash cleanup around entire course
- Clearing of deadfall (limbs, sticks and other) from fairways and high traffic areas
- Minor trimming of bushes and limbs
- Other small miscellaneous jobs

Please bring tools for possible use like, shovels (flat/spade), rakes (metal & leaf), clipper/trimmers/loppers, etc...
Please bring any other provisions you may need for the day such as snack/lunch, beverages, work clothes/play clothes, etc...

*It is GCP policy to NOT use gas powered tools such as chain saws, leaf blowers, and weed whackers so no need to bring them...

If you can attend for the whole day or for only a little while at the beginning, end, or anywhere in between your time/help will be greatly appreciated.

There will be some PRIZES given away for those who come out.

There will most likely be a doubles round or a group(s) playing once work is done but on this day the main focus is getting the course in shape for the season as we have not had an official cleanup day there in a couple of years.

EVERYONE AND ANYONE IS WELCOME AND YOUR HELP WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED AS YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE A CLUB MEMBER BUT JUST CARE ABOUT GOLDENROD DGC, DISC GOLF, PARKS AND NATURE IN GENERAL.

If you have any comments/questions please post them in the talk section here on the club page.

I am going to be making another Black Ace Disc Golf clothing order. In addition to the short & long sleeve t shirts & hoodies we got last time I was thinking of getting some dri fit & polos. Let me know if you are interested and I will get you a price.

Well to put it simply, after the MDGO sold itself to Discraft, the desire to run FE's was, for some clubs, diminished. I have no hate towards the MDGO and Discraft but they made it quite a bit harder and less desireable to run a FE. I have talked to a few TD's about running FE's and they are all of the opinion that it seems like it is not worth the effort and either decline or do it anyways for the benefit of their local players.
This is all besides the point though. There is no reason for anyone, especially a "premier member" of the MDGO to bash another Michigan club for running an event.

I do see a good number of FTFers already registered for the State Finals. Just another blast remeinding people that if you don't pay for the event before the deadline to do so (Aug. 26th at midnight) your berth is null and void. You can register here on the Scene on the State Finals tournament page.
